It's happening right now... it's just not on film, it's not being recorded.

I know and value what it means to wake up and be alive and to share my story. I'm so blessed to be here and to be able to talk about it.

I saw my hometown burning that day.

Why can't we all just get along?

As a black man, you run from the cops. It's different now, but back when I was coming up, you run.

People look at me like I should have been like Malcolm X or Martin Luther King or Rosa Parks. I should have seen life like that and stay out of trouble, and don't do this and don't do that. But it's hard to live up to some people's expectations.

I tell myself time heals. It really does.
